WYD will be a litmus test of how Panama functions on the World Stage. (Hotels, Transportation, Security)

With well over a year of preparations under the belt, the Pope he is a coming. And bringing flocks of followers and congregations with him. World Youth Day is a HUGE event for this country. Perhaps the BIGGEST that has EVER occurred.

I for one hope that is goes as smoothly as possible. In a year where the administration of Varela has been pre-occupied with (IMO) establishing him as a leader to be noticed, the focus should be on making the NATION one to be noticed.

Well, the time is here and I am hopeful all facets of the Panamanian infrastructure perform perfectly and represent the country and its people well. It will be a huge challenge. Tocumem will have to run smoothly. An already jammed and congested traffic situation will have to be controlled. The security forces and the Police will be challenged with crowds that have never before been seen or dealt with.

The Metro, which is being used in test runs, will have to play a big part of moving people through Panama.

And all for an event that brings light to the children of the world and a focus on religion to bring people together. I am very hopeful, and will be watching with great passion for my new home as this massive event occurs.

Saludos

Torrijos brings up topic of “electricity” compliance as major election point.

I wonder if the operation of a “business” that has been run for 20 years without the necessary concession to sell utility services will be looked at?  Or does Bocas del Toro not exist in this regard?  https://www.laestrella.com.pa/panama/politica/torrijos-califica-como-un-desastre-el-servicio-de-energia-electrica-KF6557084   The candidate raised the urgent need to supply water to Panamanians …

More of the same at RFB in Bocas. I’ve grown tired. Re-organization a charade with Haley still present.

The shenanigans and “scumbaggetry” continue at the Red Frog Beach Resort in Bocas del Toro. YES, I still stay in contact, YES, I still hear unethical and illegal shit being done that adversely affects Ex-Pats. But PANAMA remains “PANAMA”. And if MI AMBIENTE can’t get off their asses and address …
